University of Winnipeg - UofW
speciality: Business and Strategy

I appreciated that the classes were smaller in size and that there were multiple sections—typically two or three taught by different professors. However, a downside was the limited number of spots available in each class, which meant that if you didn’t secure a place, you had to wait until the following semester. I also liked that the professors were always willing to offer support whenever a student was struggling.
Another downside is that each student has a different enrollment date, and because the classes are small, you sometimes couldn’t get into your preferred section. As a result, you might be forced to enroll with a less effective professor simply because that was the only option left.

I thought there was a great combination of classes that really challenged you in an effective way as well as some courses that were a bit easier in the sense that you weren’t tested on knowledge, but required to implement your knowledge in assignments. My least favourite prof by far was Bryskina who at the time was unavoidable as a business student. Lots of other good professors though show that they genuinely care about their students’ learning. It’s a very diverse school population, so if that’s something you’re looking for then U of W is great. It is also smaller than U of M in terms of both campus and class sizes which is nice and there are lots of opportunities to join additional groups and such as well as lots of networking events.

I am currently taking classes online at the U of W, since I am playing junior hockey in Quebec. I’ve enjoyed most of the classes online and they have been put together pretty well, my only problem with the school is now that they have shifted back to in person learning in the city they are leaving the remote learning students out to dry. I’ve had to reach out to all my professors on multiple occasions to make sure that I can actually do my quiz online and that I won’t have that option taken away or else I won’t be able to learn. If they were able to accommodate the online side of learning a little bit better it would be a really great option for all.
